The Visit (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine Here, [Shyamalan] loosened up, shed some of his ego, and reminded all of us what a gifted writer and director he truly is. Rated: 3/4 Jun 12, 2016 Full Review The Visit (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Jason Bailey Flavorwire M. Night Shyamalan made another good movie, and I'm as surprised as you are.

Collin P 4.5/5 stars as a found footage movie;3 stars as a movie;and 3.5 because shamalan had the guts to even try it. He's not in the class of movie maker to try something like this. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Penelope L Not sure why this is rated so low. It was very entertaining and well acted with a solid story line. Better than so much gunk out there. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Asher B It is unbelievably rubbish. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review James B decent twist the grandmother was the best part of the film but i could have gone without the rapping lame Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Maja G I found the film weird at first because I found the grandparents weird but not in a scary way, just weird but the ending explained that and so it makes sense. So even if I found it strange at the beginning, in the end it had a good message and it made sense. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Georgan G Not really scary, but a wild film nonetheless. Once the grandchildren were at their visit, it kinda was put together nicely. However, who the hell is going to let their kids stay with their estranged grandparents without even a photo of them? Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
